Am I crazy...(color question for Light Khaki Sport Owners)

[Atrus]

...or is the plastic trim a different color than on the other sport models? Seems to look more tan to me, but I can't tell if that's just an optical illusion.

Does anyone know for sure? Do all colors use the same part numbers for trim??

I think your crazy, personally they look all the same to me

Light Khaki is the main paint but it also includes a metallic clear coat on top of that. The trim doesn't use a metallic clear coat and is considered just Khaki. The differences you might see depends on how clean the comparison KJ is, age, or just reflections.

It IS different, there are 3 different colors of plastic trim....

There's a tan shade, light gray (I got it...grrr, I hate it), and a darker gray.

The color of the Sport bumpers/flares/trim is dependent on which color you order from the factory.

Cool, I am not crazy (at least, about this).

My friend has a '99 Wrangler (and is giddy that I want a Jeep). His black plastic trim was looking shabby, so some creative taping with playing cards and a can of Krylon Fusion for $5, and his trim looks better than new. I suppose I could paint the khaki trim black too if it ever starts to look crappy...Wonder how that would look...

I really like inferno red, I like the Khaki, and I like the dark blue (atlantic blue is OK too). I am shying away from the dark blue as I am afraid it'll show nicks and scratches too easily. Silver is cool, but wife has a silver car and my current car is silver. I'd like a change. I do have a requirement that the interior be grey and not tan. Just personal preference, all of my cars have always been grey interior.

Tan = Khaki
Light Gray = Graystone
Darker Gray = Slate Gray or Dark Slate Gray (black)

I hate the way Chrysler tries to pull off Dark Slate Gray as black. Nobody's stupid...

Grand Cherokee/Commander inside trim colors:

HV - Dark KHAKI
PC - KHAKI

The plastic trim does begin to look like crap over time. I have to apply a coat of what ever shiney stuff I have in my detailing box every couple of weeks to keep the color to them....lately i've been putting the same Black Magic Tire Foam that I use on the tires on them.
